The goal of the 21st Century Fund is to support the resolution of next-stage capital formation issues by co-investing with institutional investors in order to further
build innovative, high-impact, high-growth companies. As the 21 Fund's manager, Elevate works with early revenue-generating companies to solve product
demonstration and market penetration issues in order to accelerate company growth, milestone achievement, and job creation. Technical and business analysis is
conducted by Elevate Ventures staff using a structured internal venture validation process. If necessary, Elevate Ventures' Entrepreneurs-in-Residence work with
applicants to ensure that the technical and business plans are structured to make this review efficient and to provide useful feedback to the company. The 21st Century
Fund is sensitive to the acute challenges facing early-stage life science companies, especially in therapeutic verticals. They continue to be open to such opportunities
and strive to meet associated capital-intensive product development needs alongside institutional or strategic investors. The 21 Fund's maximum investment size is $2
million per company. Certain criteria for investment includes: for-profit entity headquartered in Indiana, addressable market size over $1 billion, disruptive business
models, coachable management team, and achievable growth and exit strategies.

4G Ventures is a venture firm focused on seed investments in software-as-a-service companies. The firm was founded by Bill Godfrey. The name, 4G, is a homage
to his four children: four Godfreys. While some of Central Indiana's angel investors take pride in high-volume investing with portfolios including up to 50
investments, Godfrey prefers to invest in fewer companies in a more concentrated way. To date, he has invested in nine companies in the range of $250,000 to $1
million, and he sits on the board of seven of them.

Stage: Seed
The Angel Investor Forum (AIF), founded in 2004, is an organization located in Connecticut comprised of accredited investors, who are former CEOs, VCs, serial
entrepreneurs, and active private equity investors. Due to the widening gap in the capital markets, there is a shortage of funding available at the seed stage
($250K-$5M). This funding gap represents a great opportunity for investment in companies and the group provides $100K to $2M for companies with substantial
growth potential. AIF is not a fund; Investment members collaborate on due diligence, but make individual investment decisions (under common valuation and
terms). The typical company the group looks at is raising between $750K and $1.5 Million. Members typically put in between $150K and $350K as a group. The
individual investment is typically $25,000 but ranges from $10,000 (if the deal permits) to $100,000. The group's investment criteria includes: a clearly articulated
market position, management team with a demonstrated track record, clear intellectual property strategy, defensible competitive position in an emerging or growth
market, and an exit strategy for investors within 3-5 years.

The City of Peoria, Arizona, BioAccel and The Plaza Companies have created BioInspire, an incubator in Peoria dedicated to medical device development that
provides working capital and space to qualifying companies. BioInspire, operated by BioAccel, will offer first-class working space, technical/business assistance and
collaborative opportunities. Unique to BioInspire is its focus on medical devices and, most importantly, that qualified tenants, through BioAccel's commercialization
programs, may receive up to $300,000 for working capital and/or free or greatly reduced rent. The facility is located on the Plaza del Rio Campus, a 180-acre 'medical
hub' featuring 400,000 square feet of medical and healthcare offices and outpatient centers along with 1,000 beds of various components of senior living options. The
campus will provide an environment for the growth of companies once they leave the incubator. Bioinspire consists of 6,800 square feet divided into four individual
laboratories, one larger common laboratory (a unique feature providing laboratory access to tenants that do not require an individual lab), ten offices of various
configurations providing for flexibility, a break room where tenants can connect and a shared conference room.

BioCrossroads is a collaborative effort among Indiana's corporate community, research universities, and public sector to grow the state's life sciences sector.
BioCrossroads initiative seeks to strengthen Indiana's life science base by encouraging commercialization efforts, expanding access to capital, and supporting new
business formation. Among several initiatives, the organization established in 2003 the Indiana Future Fund, a $73 million fund-of-funds managed by Credit Suisse.
In the fund-of-funds structure, investments are made in venture capital funds, which then invest directly into companies. Additionally, BioCrossroads has established
the $6 million, return-driven Indiana Seed Fund, launched in June 2005, and managed by BioCrossroads. The Seed Fund provides working capital in the range of
$50,000-$500,000 to promising Indiana life sciences companies at the preliminary stages of operation. In December 2009, the $58 million INext Fund, a venture
capital fund of funds, was established with institutional investors Eli Lilly and Company, Indiana State Teachers Retirement Fund, Indiana University, Purdue
University, University of Notre Dame and Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation. BioCrossroads organized the fund and Credit Suisse manages it. BioCrossroads formed
the Indiana Seed Fund II in early 2012. The Indiana Seed Fund II is an $8 million early-stage life sciences venture fund focused on identifying, creating and
developing the next generation of leading Indiana-based companies. Managed by BioCrossroads, the Fund is a follow-on to Indiana Seed Fund I. The Fund makes
investments of up to $1 million in early-stage biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic, ag-biotech and health information technology products and
platforms and will continue to focus on forming promising companies around innovative ideas.

Greenline Ventures, LLC is a financial services company that specializes in capital markets solutions for economic development activities nationwide. With
approximately $1 billion of assets currently under management, Greenline provides debt and/or equity capital for projects and operating businesses that are capable of
generating strong risk-adjusted returns for its investors as well as a positive impact on the local communities. Greenline was formed in 2011 as part of the
management-led buyout of Capmark Financial Group's New Markets Tax Credit division. Greenline is 100% owned by the former employees of this division, which
remained very successful and active throughout the recent economic downturn and subsequent bankruptcy filing by its parent, Capmark, in 2009. Since its inception
in 2004 as an operating division within Capmark, the Greenline team has raised over $1.3 billion in capital and invested in over $2.5 billion of projects and businesses
throughout the country. The Greenline Community Growth Fund (GCGF) is a Greenline-managed community development venture capital fund with a national
footprint that targets small operating businesses with less than $5 million of capitalization. GCGF is currently capitalized with $2 million of Greenline's proprietary
capital and is expected to grow over time. Investments typically range from $5,000 to $500,000 depending on the size/needs of the business. Approximately $500,000
of existing funds are targeted toward the smaller end of the range (less than $100,000) to ensure a significant number of 'main street' businesses gain access to
funding.

H-FARM is a Venture Incubator focused on accelerating the development of Internet startups via a combination of seed investment and incubation services. The
Venture Incubator is a hybrid model that reflects the dual soul of H-FARM: that of Venture Capitalist and that of Incubator. As a VC, H-Farm invests seed capital,
granting the finance necessary for early stage activities; as an incubator H-Farm provides a series of services to speed up the business development: an inspiring
workplace, centralized general administration, press office, human resources, legal and financial consultancy; H-Farm partners support the portfolio startups
throughout their incubation assisting them defining commercial strategies, business plans, partnerships and exit strategies. H-Camp and H-Ack are H-Farm's two
programs. H-Camp is a three month acceleration bootcamp, where participants receive $15,000 in exchange for a 10% equity stake. H-Ack is a 24hr hackathon
created with the goal of helping traditional businesses find new ideas and new market approaches through digital tools. Since its inception in 2005, H-FARM has
invested 14.5 million euro in 52 startups. Around 10 million euro of investments are expected over the next four years.

Founded in 2000 by Nathan Myhrvold and Edward Jung of Microsoft, Peter Detkin of Intel, and Gregory Gorder of Perkins Coie, a Seattle-based law firm,
Intellectual Ventures is built on the belief that combining capitalism and invention will benefit the world with more and better inventions as well as create financial
rewards for investors. Intellectual Ventures is an 'Invention Capitalist.' While venture capitalists and private equity investors typically seek out existing ideas and
companies for investment opportunities, IV focuses on funding the creation of new inventions and introducing a variety of new models for monetizing invention as a
stand-alone asset. IV conceives and patents inventions from within the firm, invests in the inventions of others, and also partners with select university and research
labs. The firm works on a global scale and across more than 30 technology areas including: hardware, software, consumer electronics, digital imaging, medical
devices and energy. Strategies will include licensing, spin outs, and joint ventures and are dependent upon the technology, the culture of the specific industry and,
most importantly, market timing and opportunity. To date, the firm has raised more than $5 billion. Intellectual Ventures and SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) recently
announced they have entered into a long-term license agreement. As part of the agreement, SAP will obtain a right to access IV's patent portfolio for defensive use.
The firm launched the Intellectual Ventures Laboratory, a 27,500-square-foot facility in Bellevue, Washington, that allows the IV to extend capabilities for advanced
research and prototyping to its inventor partners.

Founded in 1996, Littlejohn & Co. is a control oriented private equity firm that makes investments in mid-sized companies undergoing a fundamental change in
capital structure, strategy, operations or growth that can benefit from its operational and strategic approach. The firm is based in Greenwich and manages three funds
with committed capital of approximately $2.4 billion. The firm is currently investing the $1.3 billion Littlejohn Fund IV. As of June 30, 2010 Littlejohn and its
predecessor funds have made equity investments of approximately $1.7 billion in 32 platform portfolio companies and many add-on acquisitions. Cash proceeds of
more than $2.7 billion have been realized on approximately $1.0 billion of the equity investments realized to date. Littlejohn implements two investment strategies.
For control investments, it seeks to invest between $50 million to $100 million of equity per transaction. For non-control positions, the firm will take minority equity
positions as well as purchase debt and other junior securities in the secondary markets. Due to the intensive hands-on nature of its investment approach in control
investment, Littlejohn generally undertakes no more than two or three transactions per year. At any one time, the control portfolio will typically consist of five to ten
companies. The firm has particular interest in industries in which the principals have considerable experience, including industrial equipment, packaging, chemicals,
automotive and transportation parts and equipment, food and food processing, healthcare, plastics, aerospace/defense, distribution, environmental and infrastructure
services, and consumer products. Littlejohn avoids investments in fashion and retail industries, as well as real estate and highly sophisticated technologies. The firm
targets mid-sized companies with revenues in the range of $150 million to $800 million. Generally, the firm focuses on investments in the U.S., but will consider
opportunities in Canada and Europe.

Stage: Early, Seed
Industry: Consumer Products & Services, Energy & Clean Tech, Information Technology
MAC6 is an early stage business incubator accelerating Conscious Capitalism through collaboration, creativity, community and change. With a view that placing
people and planet before profits, paradoxically increases profits, our mission is to foster free enterprise/ social venture business models in support of individual and
community self reliance, worldwide. The businesses we support seek to affect positive change in the world, while growing and sustaining long-term profitable
business models. After completing an application process, select candidates will begin an intensive 3-month program designed to build investable businesses, teams,
business plans and pitches. This period concludes with the 'MAC6 Conscious Capital Call' where Incubees pitch to qualified and active investors. Finally, Incubees
participate in the 6-month incubation program geared towards the closing of financing and implementation of spending. Prospective businesses must aim to make a
difference in the world, both financially and socially. In pure financial terms, MAC6 is looking for entrepreneurs with business ideas that have the potential to achieve
$20 million to $50 million in annual revenue within 5 years. MAC6 will play a small part in funding each company with initial working capital and then play a larger
role in matching investor funding, dollar for dollar, for each Incubee that closes funding during the MAC6 Conscious Capital Call. Matched investor funding is at
MAC6 discretion, as Incubees meet incubator guidelines.

Oaktree Capital Management, LLC was founded in April 1995 by Principals of Trust Company of the West who had directed TCW's high yield bond, convertible
value, distressed debt, principal investment and distressed real estate activities. The founders were joined at Oaktree by 90% of their former TCW investment staff,
including 100% of the senior investment professionals. Oaktree is comprised of nine Principals and over 550 staff members in Los Angeles, New York, London,
Frankfurt, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Stamford, Connecticut. The firm's Private Equity strategy is to invest in companies in which it can obtain control or
substantial influence, often (although not necessarily), through the medium of distress. The firm's use of leverage is very limited. In 2001, Oaktree established a new
strategy in mezzanine investments with a targeted investment size of $20-$75 million, addressing the need for capital to help finance leveraged buyouts,
recapitalizations, acquisitions or corporate growth. The firm's GFI Energy Group, which executes the Power Opportunities investment strategy, seeks to make
controlling equity investments. Formed in 1995 as GFI Energy Ventures LLC, the team has originated and financed over seventy transactions, deploying over $2
billion of equity capital in the electricity and natural gas sectors.

Olympus Partners is a private equity firm focused on middle market management buyouts and later stage venture capital deals. Founded in 1988, Olympus manages
over $3.1 billion on behalf of corporate pension plans, public retirement systems, university endowment funds, and executives of Olympus' portfolio companies.
Olympus is currently investing from its fifth fund, Olympus Growth Fund V, which has committed capital of $1.5 billion. The firm purposely limits the number of
investments it makes to five or six each year and looks to invest larger dollar amounts in each company. The preferred investment size ranges from $20 million for
venture capital deals to $300 million or more for buyouts. Rather than investing in companies focused on capturing a small piece of a large market, the firm looks for
companies that have established a dominant position in a defensible niche. While Olympus will continue to invest opportunistically, it has developed particular
interest and expertise in the following industry sectors: Business Services, Healthcare Manufacturing and Services, Financial Services, Consumer Products and
Services, Software and IT Services, and Logistics and Transportation Services.

Slate Venture Group is a private equity investment group based in Baltimore, Maryland. Slate invests at all stages of a company's life cycle, from growth equity
investing to leveraged buyouts, and is focused on companies headquartered in the Mid-Atlantic region (but will consider companies with headquarters located East of
the Mississippi River). The principals of Slate have significant experience in both running small-to-mid-sized companies and investing in venture capital and
leveraged buyout transactions. Slate's approach is to acquire/invest in one or two new companies per year and focus on their success, rather than striving for a larger
volume of deals and a 'portfolio' return. Slate targets manufacturing, distribution and service businesses; all industries will be considered except banking, real estate,
and natural resources; preferred industries include business services, distribution, light manufacturing, direct marketing, food & beverage, and consumer and retail
investments. Slate will focus on companies with annual EBITDA of $2-10 million.

Washington Research Foundation (WRF) was founded in 1981 to help Washington State research institutions capture value from emerging technologies through
intellectual property management and start-up investment activities. WRF is an independent private foundation whose operational revenue comes from retained funds
from licensing and investing activities. WRF Capital manages Washington Research Foundation's (WRF) seed venture fund by creating and investing primarily in
technology-based start-up companies that have strong ties to the University of Washington and other non-profit research institutions in Washington State. WRF
Capital invests in two types of companies: (1) WRF founded companies in which WRF Capital and an entrepreneur create a business concept and start a company and
(2) Non-WRF founded companies in which WRF Capital invests in a company opportunity presented by an entrepreneur. In both cases, WRF Capital actively seeks
co-investors, investing up to $2 million in the firm's portfolio companies with proceeds from investments used to make financial gifts to Washington State research
institutions. WRF invests only in companies located in Washington State with ties to not-for-profit research insitutions. The industry focus includes IT, Life Sciences,
and Physical Sciences. In addition to providing seed capital through WRF Capital, the WRF leases office space to technology-based start-ups through the WRF
